The only thing I can think of right now is for other parts of the regression
tests to leave various tables, triggers, etc lying around. Then somewhere
near the end, do a pg_dump regress | psql newdb (for various options of
pg_dump) and then somehow compare the two databases.
The comparison would be the tricky part because you should avoid using
pg_dump since that is what you are testing...
